Chocolate Milk Shake
NOTES: The secret to this fabulous milk shake from the St. Francis Fountain and Candy Store in San Francisco is the homemade chocolate syrup. Refrigerate the leftover syrup to enjoy later, poured over your favorite ice cream or pound cake.
Recipe from Bon Appétit, January 1996. Serves 4.
1½ Cups Sugar
1 Cup Water
½ Cup Cocoa (unsweetened), Dutch process
1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
4 Tablespoons Milk (No less than 2%), preferably whole milk
6 Cups Vanilla Ice Cream
Stir sugar and water in heavy medium saucepan over medium-low heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat and bring to
boil. Place cocoa in small bowl. Gradually whisk in sugar syrup. Return mixture to same saucepan. Boil 1 minute, whisking constantly. Pour into bowl. Whisk in vanilla (off the heat) and cool completely. Cover and chill until cold, at least 1
hour. Syrup can be made 1 week ahead. Keep refrigerated.
Pour 3 tablespoons chocolate syrup and 1 tablespoon milk into blender. Add 1½ cups ice cream and blend until smooth.
Pour into glass. Repeat in 3 more batches, using 3 tablespoons syrup, 1 tablespoon milk and 1½ cups ice cream for each
milk shake.
